In discussing the farm labor famine In
the went and the effort that are made by
railroad agent to relieve the situation, a
local agent said today:
"The chief drawback In getting harvesters
from bw York Is that the distance and
the fare are so great that It does not pay
to come for the length of service avallab'e.
The beat rate from New York to Lincoln
that we have been advised of Is 131.40.
"Kansas, however, seems to have secured
more favorable rates, for the dispatches
announce that a rate of $28.65 to Topeka
has been put In for harvesters.
"Yes, we are sending lots of men for

State Bqnallser Soon Will Meet.
The outlook for a warm meeting of the
State Board of Equalisation seems to get
better day by day Auditor Weston Is
quoted as saying that the board would
probably be In session for two weeks. The
first meeting will be held Monday. Book
keeper Bennett, who I the official record
keeper of the board, stated thl morning
that there would be the biggest lot of kick
ing around the stale house that has been
seen for some years. Already counties are
giving notice that they expect to be heard
when the board comes to the consideration
of their assessments' and Mr. Bennett ex
pect that at least twenty counties will be
represented before the board.

Jesse Ryan was struck. The chimney and

Mr. Ryan was badly Injured by the stroke.
Pecultnr Aeeldent at AAimi,
BEATRICE, Neb., July 16. (Special.) A
peculiar accident occurred at Adams, this
county, yesterday morning. Dr. 8'.oan
drove his team of horses up before his
office, where he hitched them. Shortly
after he left the team one of the horses
became frightened, and rearing up It lunged
forward and came down squarely upon the
hitching post, which entered Its abdomen.
The team was unhitched a soon as pos
sible, and as soon as this was' down the
horse whirled around on the post com
pletely disembowelling Itself, and then ran
a distance of fifty yards without any bow
els, the heart and lungs only remaining In
place, and expired.
Contest Over Postofllce Site.
TORK. Neb., July 16. (Special.) The lo
vester and we teered them out to Hoi- cation of the government postofllce on the
dreg. One of them had had charge of the
Buffalo end of the Book Lover' library,
which has It headquarters, I believe, In
Boston and Is quite a pretentious Institu
tion. At another time we struck two young
men of seeming unusual Intelligence who
had Just come up from New Orleans, where
they had landed In coming from Germany.
After having rustled up an Interpreter we
sent them out to Holdrege to get a start In
the land of the free and the home of the
brave."
Pnssled Over Water Rights.
Some perplexity exist In the office of the
Irrigation engineer a to the statu of the
conflicting claim of J. E. Riley and An
drew Roaewater for the right to tap the
Platte river at or near Ashland for power
canal purposes. The law requires the ac
tual commencement of work In the de
velopment of the right granted within six
months of the allowance of that right. It
was October 6 last that the board, after
corner of Seventh street and Grant avenue
was a surprise to some. There was some
rivalry, but no bitter contest for the loca
tion. To secure the required number of
feet a part of the alley will have to be
vacated and reports are that a contest
will be made, hoping to prevent the alley
being vacated, and If this Is done the gov
ernment will be expected to seek another
location,
Apple Crop 1 Short.
TORK, Neb., July 16. (Special.) It la
now believed that the York county apple
crop this year will be the smallest that the
county has produced In years. According
'to reports of apple growers, the fruit did
not re'ive after the frost as rapidly
the smr.ller fruits and it progress seems
very slow. The apple growers will have
some apples to market, but nothing like
what was grown last year, when It will be
remembered that apples were shipped out

Eastern Collegrlat Scared Out.
College youth living in the east are
scarcely as Industrious as are Indicated by
the tale of an exodu of student to the
wheat field of the west. Recently a rail
road passenger agent living In Lincoln re
ceived a query from a Princeton university
student, who declared his desire to secure
employment on a Nebraska farm during ths
summer vacation. The agent did some tele
phoning and In a few minute' time had
landed a Job for the eastern chap. The
proffer of employment was from ex-Mayor
Graham, who haa a farm a few miles from
the city. The only condition was that the
fel'.ow "must be able to milk." The com
pensation waa 620 a month and board. The
agent promptly sent notification of the po
sition, stating the qualification concerning
the milking. Since then the collegiate has
been strangely silent, and It is suspected
that the absence of the science of milking

GOES TO DISTRICT COURT
Frank Coleman, Aocnse'd 'of Atumpt at
Criminal Assault,' is Held.
HIS WIFE MAKES, A "DRAMATIC PLEA
Rise from Witness Chair to Swear
that Husband Was at Homo
at the Time the Crime
Was Committed.
Frank Coleman, a negro man-of-all-work,
living at 1718 Jackson street, wa held to
the district court yesterday, under bonds of
tl.SOO, on the charge of attempting to crim
inally assault Frieda Wltte, a domestic In
the employ of J. W. Robblns, 8002 Maaon
street. Coleman's wife made a dramatic
plea for her husband In court in an effort
made by the defense to prove an alibi for
the prisoner. Rising from her chair and
extending her arm, she declared:
"I swear to God that Frank went to bed
between 11 and 12 o'clock Friday night and
never left my side until half past 4 In the
morning. , I say It In the sight of heaven
and It Is true."
The testimony of Frieda Wltte, the young
German girl who awakened In her room
Saturday morning with a negro's hands at
her throat, was given through an Inter
preter. She had been In the country only
a few months and understands only a few
w ords of English. She was' positive In her
identlAcatlon of Coleman, saying, however,
that hi hair wa much longer on the
morning of the assault. Since the hour of
4 o'clock Saturday morning he had it
clipped close to his head, as he later ad
mitted. It had been several weeks previous
when the girl had observed Coleman mow
ing the grass in an adjoining lot, observing
him through the window of her room,
which 1 on the ground floor. Thi wa
the only other time she saw the man whom
she claims entered her room. On that
morning, she asserted, he wore a black
